James? Bullock lay on a sedan chair carried by two Malay strong men, and urged the two subordinates in a little anxious: "Quick, even if those piglets from the East hide in the territory of Dagang Company, they can't stop there." Go and inform the Dutch authorities and the Lanfang Company in West Borneo Bengaying, and say that we, the Kingdom of Block, are solemnly negotiating, and ask them to come forward and ask the Dagang Company to hand over those rebellious piglets, otherwise, I will report to the Prime Minister's Office in London and the Governor of the Straits, and let the army solve it! ”

After sending two of his men to deliver the letter, Brock let out a long sigh.

This has been in the jungle for more than ten days, although he is sitting in a sedan chair, but the bumps also make him sick to his stomach, as the king of Bullock, James? It's been a long time since Bullock has suffered like this. Damn it! Why didn't they catch them all two months ago?

But that's fine, they escaped into the Dagang Company, and just used this excuse to let the Dutch and the Lanfang Company deal with the Dagang Company.

Speaking of which, this Dagang Company is also a gold mining company composed of Chinese miners, and it has always had some contradictions with its own Bullock Dynasty, but in the border area between Sarawak and West Borneo, according to the agreement between Great Britain and the Netherlands, he could not ask British soldiers to exterminate them.

Fortunately, these Chinese themselves are not united, fighting each other to grab territory, and one of the local forces next to them is Lanfang Company. The Chinese piglets still claim that they are some kind of Lanfang Republic, jokes, a local power attached to the little Dutch colonial authorities, that is, a Chinese group like the Dagang Company. If it was at its strongest a few decades ago, it might have been called the Lanfang Republic, but now, the original 24 territories have been compressed into less than 10 by the natives of the Navana Tu chieftains and the Dutch authorities, and even the same clan forces such as Dagang Company, Heshun Company and Shilongmen Twelve Company have broken away, and this Lanfang Republic is just a joke.

When they lose their usefulness, the Dutch in Pontianak will no longer let them exist.

Just thinking about it, I have come to Dagang.

Sure enough, Dagang did not agree to hand over the miners' families. Brock was not in a hurry, and let the three hundred soldiers retreat to the side, waiting quietly.

A day later, the dealer Ah Wusi Derishan and a young man named Ye Xiangyun from the Lanfang Company, who came from Benkaying not far away, brought more than 300 Chinese soldiers to meet Bullock. The dealers Ah Wu Si Derishan and Ye Xiangyun were full of smiles, and repeatedly assured Bullock that he would definitely let the Nadagang Company hand over the rebellion and let Bullock take it back to dispose of.

Bullock laughed, these Dutchmen, and this bullshit Lanfang Republic, are really obedient.

However, things took a turn for the worse. The Dagang Company did not know where to get the confidence, it was very arrogant, and even released a bold statement that it would never back down, and it must be to shelter the families of those miners, and also said that he had killed so many Chinese miners, or it would not be long before the backers of the Chinese workers would send troops to avenge them, and their Dagang Company had already returned to the imperial court, and with the protection of the imperial court, they were no longer afraid of their foreigners.

How unreasonable! It's also ridiculous! Will these Chinese piglets still have backers? Was the Tatar Qing Kingdom at the beginning? Or is this the new Chinese state that replaced it? It would be good that they were not taught a lesson by the British Empire, that is, because the British Empire had just experienced the Crimean War and was now burdened by the rebellion of the Indian pigs, otherwise perhaps the Empire's naval fleet would have already appeared in their harbor.

It's crazy to fantasize that they're coming to this Borneo! Even if their ships could withstand the waves and the cannons of the British Empire? Even the original Armada Spain was defeated by the British Empire, and even the Netherlands, known as the coachman of the sea, had to bow to the British Empire and obediently hand over the important ports of Malacca and Xingjiapo to the British.

Bullock directly sent people to the Dagang Company to announce that they would have an hour to think about it, and after an hour, if the Chinese miner rebels were not handed over, the Bullock dynasty would send troops to attack together with the Dutch East India authorities.

A leader of the Dagang Company came out to shout to Ye Xiangyun of the Lanfang Company, as for what it was, Bullock didn't pay attention to it, and just begged the Lanfang Company to attack them for the sake of everyone being a Chinese compatriot. It's ridiculous! Lanfang Company may dare to disobey its own words behind its back, but he specially notified the dealer in advance that Ah Wusi Delhishan was waiting there, and his Lanfang Company has been able to be a little longer in the general system over the years, Liu Taier and Liu Asheng have been able to serve for more than five years, isn't it because they obey the orders of the Dutch East India authorities? There is a Dutchman's father, and Liu Asheng, the general manager of his Lanfang company, is here, and he has to be a grandson, not to mention his son-in-law surnamed Ye!

Sure enough, the two sides broke up unhappily, and the person who shouted from Dagang Company went back in a hurry. The surnamed Ye ran to the dealer Ah Wu Si Delhi Mountain and said a few words, looked at his side, and after a while, Ah Wu Si Delhi Mountain said to himself that Lan Fang Company absolutely supports the capture of the Bullock Kingdom and rebels, and said that he will fully cooperate with the attack on Dagang Company!

Bullock also knows that this Lanfang Company and this Dagang Company are also grabbing territory, and they are opponents, maybe they just use their own soldiers to destroy Dagang Company. Alas, these Chinese piglets! Brock sighed inwardly.

A quarter of an hour later, there was no movement, and Bullock was a little surprised.

Half an hour later, the other party still didn't move, and Brock was a little surprised, and his heart was worried.

After three quarters of an hour, the other party finally moved. Bullock breathed a long sigh of relief: This Dagang company can be regarded as patient enough, but it still has to send people out obediently. After all, he has the British Empire as the backstage, even if it is the Dutch East Indies, he has to give himself face, not to mention a small Chinese mining company, in this troubled era, what he looks up to is to be obedient in order to live well.

But the next minute, Brock was stunned!

The Dagang Company actually launched a lot of wooden wheeled mine trucks, blocking the village's gate and roads, and making a posture of swearing to defend.

How unreasonable! Bullock felt that he had been greatly insulted, and before the last quarter of an hour had passed, he did not greet the dealer Awusi Delhishan, and directly ordered: "Attack! Shoot these yellow piglets to death and make them regret going against me Bullock! ”

One of his men immediately translated Bullock's English into Malay and shouted loudly. As a result, more than 50 British soldiers from Bullock led more than 260 Malay soldiers and Daya soldiers to the village of Dagang, carrying foreign guns, and pressed over step by step.

The dealer Awusi Delhishan only brought about 30 Dutch soldiers to help, and more relied on the 300 Chinese soldiers brought by Ye Xiangyun of Lanfang Company. Seeing that Brock's subordinates were moving, Ah Wu Si Delhi Shan shouted at Ye Xiangyun: "Ye, quickly let your subordinates kill them!" ”

At this time, there was a commotion in the ranks of the Chinese soldiers, and two Chinese soldiers shouted loudly: "Master Ye, no, although the Dagang Company on the other side is our opponent, they are also Hakka people from Huaxia, and everyone is Chinese, even if there is a dispute, it can be resolved in the middle of the meeting." I don't agree with helping foreigners to kill their own compatriots like this! ”

"Yes, Hall Master Ye, we don't agree with it either!" Among the Chinese soldiers, voices of opposition emerged.

"That's it, Cock Lechan Niva! This Hakka family kills the Hakka family, how to meet the villagers when they return to their hometown in the future? He Liu Shoushan and Ye Mazi want to talk to the ghosts, why do you want us to be this wicked person who kills compatriots. ”

Seeing that these Chinese soldiers were about to riot, several cronies around Ye Xiangyunchao glanced at them, only to see these cronies pick up the waist knives in their hands and rush into the crowd. The crowd avoided on both sides, revealing the two Chinese soldiers who were the first to shout, and a few streaks of blood went down, and the two fell in a pool of blood.

As a result, the people who had been holding the opposing voice just now were silent, and their faces were frightened.

At this time, Ye Xiangyun roared viciously: "Just fucking take care of yourself!" If you have compassion for others today, who will have compassion for you tomorrow? Who will feed your family? If you want to survive in this ghost place, how can you not please foreigners? Can we beat foreigners, foreign guns, and foreign artillery? Okay, kill Lao Tzu! ”

After speaking, he took the lead and rushed towards Dagang.

Adothrishan shrugged in satisfaction at Brock, who was looking at him, a little smugly.

Brock was relieved. Although the Dagang Company is also quite powerful, according to his intelligence, there are only 200 of the most old-fashioned rifles and arquebuses, counting some knives and forks, at most four or five hundred capable soldiers, with his own 300 armed musketeers, especially 50 of them who have retired from the Strait Governor's Palace, equipped with new firing smoothbore guns, well-trained, plus more than 30 Dutch soldiers from the Netherlands, and then let the 300 Chinese piglets of the Lanfang Company rush to the front to attract firepower, that is, two charges, will be able to take down this Dagang company.

Bullock began to think about how much gold and silver he could recover after the capture of the Dagang Company, and I heard that they had mined a lot of gold, and when the time came, he would give the dealer a share of the money, and the rest would be transported back to the royal palace in Kuching.

Here, Brock's British ensigns had already commanded the Malay soldiers and Daya soldiers to slow down and launch an attack formation, allowing the stupid piglets of Lanfang to rush to the front.

Gunfire rang out, and the exchange of fire had begun.

The miners and soldiers of Lanfang Company continued to fall, screaming and wailing. After the first round of gunfire in the village, Brock waved the steel knife in his hand, and suddenly, fifty British soldiers led more than 200 subordinates, jumped up, carried a few logs and hit the gate of the wall, which was not very explained, and the gate collapsed with a bang.

The dealer Ah Wusi Delhi Shan waved his hand and shouted: "Destroy the Dagang Company, and their gold mines will be one-third of your Lanfang Company." ”

Ye Xiangyun of Lanfang Company was overjoyed, and led his subordinates to rush in, and the second round of gunfire in the village rang out, and more than 20 people fell from Lanfang Company. The rest began to get frightened and slowly ducked back.

At this time, Brock shouted: "Rush in!" ”

Those British soldiers led their Malay soldiers and Daya soldiers, taking advantage of the gap in the village to exchange gunpowder, rushed into the gate of the village and opened fire, after a dense burst of gunfire, the miners and soldiers of Dagang Company retreated one after another, leaving more than 30 corpses.

...... PS: I recommend a book that is also the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom: "Traveling through the days of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom", which is very good.
